Student Outcomes

Achievement of UT-9 Ability-Based Outcomes

Preceptors assess student pharmacists’ competence on the program’s UT-9 Student Learning
Outcomes at the end of each Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience. All students in
the Class of 2016 were assessed a minimum of 4 times on every UT-9 Outcome over the
duration of their advanced practice experiences, and 100% of the class achieved competence
on all outcomes prior to graduation.

ASHP Residency Match Success Rate

UT’s success in preparing students for residencies is comparable to that of the 14
programs currently ranked in the top 10 nationally by US News and World Report. When
compared to that group of programs, UT would rank 8th for placement in PGY1 residencies
and 4th for PGY2 residencies. UT consistently maintains a higher residency match
percentage than the average of programs across the nation.
